Sorry it's taken so long to respond. Since Rod set the speakers using the Master Set I have changed a good part of my front end (phono stage, pre amp, cartridge, Oppo 105 D with ModWright tube mod) and Lou updated my DA 1-1s to the version 2, all poly caps and I added the trim rings. I also added two passive subs (Daedalus BOWs). I started where Rod had the speakers and wanted a deeper soundstage so I moved them farther away from the front wall using the Rob Wasserman Duet CD until I was satisfied with the bass. I then used Jim Smith's tips and a laser measuring tool to set recommend distance between the speakers and to the listening position on my couch. Then I listened to lots of familiar music and fine tuned the location of both speakers (very small movements) until I felt like I had optimum speaker location for my room. I then added the BOWs and started with Lou's recommendation and then fine tuned their location by listening.

Jim's recommendations are measurement based with final positioning by listening.

Thanks Laura.
